Today, the plastic waste issue and the global climate change are two of the most critical challenges the world needs to address. Due to greenhouse gases such as CO2 emitted from various human activities and the increasingly accumulated carbon emissions since industrial revolution, we are seeing more and more cases of extreme weathers. The United Nations has established 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and expects to achieve most of these goals by 2030. More than one hundred nations have signed Paris Agreement and committed themselves to achieve the goal of Net Zero by 2050. With an increasingly global focus on sustainable development, "Net Zero" and "Carbon Neutral" initiatives have become international campaigns with the participation of several industrial leading brands such as Microsoft, Apple, Nike, as well as major automakers around the world. The carbon emissions generated from using “recycled” plastics, in comparison to “virgin” plastics, is significantly lower. In addition, using recycled materials will help you in reducing carbon tax. Through the following presentation, we would like to invite you to learn a little more about the global sustainable movements and our recycled PET (rPET) Monofilament Yarn at Ri-Thai.

2. Transitions And Implications For Business After COVID-19

3. “This is a unique time for companies on their sustainability journey, and the transition at large
in the global economy,” - Dickon Pinner, Senior Partner, McKinsey & Company
“Climate change and plastic waste are among the biggest issues the world is facing, even in
the midst of COVID-19, and our products and the technologies we’ve developed are crucial
to addressing both.” - Jim Fitterling, Chairman and CEO, Dow Inc
“Creating a more sustainable and resilient economy will be a key focus of the recovery phase
and the Renewed Sustainable Finance Strategy will be essential to mobilising much-needed
capital,” - Valdis Dombrovskis, the EU Commission’s executive vice-president of economy
